TAKE THE NEXT STEP

MAKE A REAL IMPACT WHILE GROWING PERSONALLY

In Ecuador, you’ll live out what you believe, making a tangible difference while learning firsthand about the power of community and service. This is your chance to make friends in Ecuador, and through your actions, show the love of Christ in a whole new way.

HIGH-ENERGY FUN & ADVENTURE

The first week in Quito is all about energy, excitement, and fun activities with kids. Whether it’s games, crafts, or creative stories, you’ll have a blast while building relationships that could last a lifetime.

BUILD DEEP CONNECTIONS IN A RELAXED SETTING

Week two on the coast is the perfect mix of work and fun. You’ll lead camp activities, connect with kids on a personal level, and help them find hope—all while enjoying the laid-back vibe of the beach.

WITNESS LIFE-CHANGING MOMENTS

See firsthand how the gospel impacts kids recovering from the trauma of the past few years. This is an opportunity to share hope with those who need it most, and to be part of their journey toward healing.

GROW YOUR FAITH & PURPOSE

This trip isn’t just about serving others—it’s also about growing your own faith and seeing how God can use you to change lives. You’ll leave with a new sense of purpose and a deeper connection to both your faith and Christians around the world.
